At present I am currently finishing my dissertation study, which was a case study that looked at how a virtual high school was being implemented in one rural school. As a follow-up to that, I have copied below a section of a proposal that I wrote for a one year post-doctoral fellowship to continue research with this [...]
Since we started this Blog Track, I’ve written a fair amount about digital natives (see More On Digital Natives) for the most recent entry. Most of what I have written about has focused upon whether or not there is such a thing as digital natives. This past week I’ve read some entries posted by Ian [...]
A colleague of mine, Derek Wenmoth, has posted an entry to his blog (see Derek’s Blog) which I think is particularly interesting. The entry, Tackling online learning in our secondary schools, talks about some thngs going on down in New Zealand in K-12 online learning and then proceeds to ask a long series of questions [...]
Continuing on this theme of digital natives (see What Are Virtual Schools Doing For Digital Natives? for the most recent post), let’s get back to this issue of whether or not they exist and how they are defined. When I look around the blogsphere I see entries like:
Being Digital with Negroponte from Bethany’s Education Blog
Growing Up [...]
Okay, first of all I apologize that it has been two weeks since my last post (i.e., June Non-Research Entries) – it won’t happen again.
This evening I was checking my e-mail and on daily Yahoo! alert for cyber school alerted me to a news item that I found interesting.
Teaching And Learning Online: Meeting Learners In Their [...]
This study was actually a follow-up to a study that I had conducted a couple of years ago that only considered students in the Advanced Placement program in Newfoundland and Labrador. This particular study is also being used as a foundation for my dissertation study, as my dissertation is looking at what online learning looks [...]
This study was a follow-up to the teachers and designers perceptions of web-based design study that had been conducted the previous year (see Teachers and Designers Perceptions of Web-Based Design). Like the previous study, this is one that I have yet to publish on – although I do have a fairly good findings section created [...]
This was the first study that I conducted after joining the online learning research group that Dr. Hill had established here at the University of Georgia – yes, this is the same group that is sponsoring this BlogTrack. The actual research projet was one that had been originally conducted by Liyan and Ernise Singleton (Higher Education) [...]
Okay, I know that I’m a little behind on these, and it is appropriate that this is the one where the break occurred – as the research study described in this entry is the only one that I haven’t done a lot with (basically I have only presented this at a single conference, with no [...]
This is the second study that I conducted with the Centre for Distance Learning and Innovation. It began during the first year of operation while I was the Web-Based Initiatives Facilitator for the Vista School District (i.e., I was responsible for the introduction of the CDLI in my school district). In the first year there [...]
